Store employees are not permitted to respond at all when they see a shoplifter walk out with merchandise valued at less than $950. That is classified as a misdemeanor, not a felony. If the police are called, they may show up to make a report, but don't expect anything beyond that.
Turnabout is fair play.
Just steal it back.
